my guests. join us tomorrow for "the opening bell" at 9:00 a.m. at the same place, same time on "the opening bell" on fox. time for "varney & company" with the market near the highs of the day. let me send it over to "varney & company" and stuart. stuart: maria, thank you very much, indeed. a market rally, look at what else we have for you. apple borrows money, why? 150 billion cash. the stock is up, putin erased ukraine. president obama says he will not go after putin personal billions. get this, 3.8 million low-wage jobs created in the obama years. 1 million middle wage jobs lost.

toyota jumps from california sinking ship. low tax texas the new corporate home. we are about to begin. ♪ stuart: let's start at the top, shall we? apple, the company is borrowing $17 billion to fund the stock buyback program even though it has a ton of money overseas. if it brings the money back here and get taxed 35%. charles payne is with me this monday morning. up 17 points today or something like that? nothing to do with oral and money and not paying taxes, everything to do with earnings. my question to you, $2 trillion out there overseas not coming back. charlie: you can't get it back. the money past overseas where it is created.

to be hit again is just completely 1000% unreasonable. i don't care where you are, you start to say what kind of incentives to we have for american businesses to bring this money home? stuart: if tim cook who runs apple was to bring back $90 billion from overseas to fund this stock program, his shareholders would sue him because he has a financial responsibility not to pay 35% tax. charlie: i always look at effective tax rates. any company who can manage debt can often do very well. even within this company see what companies relocate simply because of tax savings. it is just a smart thing. you want to keep the money you earn. stuart: another tax issue with another big name. toyota moving the sales headquarters to texas from california. toyota wants to cut expenses. looks like governor rick perry

of texas does it again. charlie: he does it begin. a little bit more swagger of late. many people think he might be going back in the presidential thing. i love what texas did with rick perry, i really do. it was known as an oil state, now it is a text state, boston, other places. 50 companies have left california to go to texas. 14,000 jobs. 14,000. stuart: toyota owns california. more toyota sold in california than anyplac any place else, any are jumping ship to texas i think because of taxes and regulation. charlie: of course it is. the torrance headquarters. you're going to have a whole bunch of people once again smart, intelligent, hard-working people leaving california. who is going to replace them?

stuart: we have a solid triple digit really going on this morning. look at individual stocks doing very well. microsoft, content is king, streaming is king. reportedly planning original shows to stream through the xbox. the market really likes it. that is an intraday high. i own some microsoft stocks. netflix and a possible original shows featuring chelsea handler. netflix down $8 as we speak. nicole, let get to the big one. amazon below 300. nicole: they lost nearly 10% on friday, today down to under .5%. the stock at 29611. they have been concerns of the amazon earnings we have seen. the analyst jumping on board, today we heard from bernstein. and a target of 360.

they still keep the outperform rating but the big picture is amazon earnings has been a disappointment and the stock down 10% friday and today tuned .5%. stuart: that is a tough one. thank you very much. some new headlines we are following for you. looking at scenes of destruction in the south. a violent round of tornadoes through arkansas and oklahoma, 17 people reported dead. the count is men mike grimm look into the fbi probe of the financing. grimm is facing a, charge for breaking wage laws while runni running. he was expected to be arraigned later on today. there you have it. president obama announced a new against russia today. targeting seven russian government officials, 17

companies with links to put in. kt mcfarland joins us now. only a few more individuals, no industries targeted. putin himself not targeted despite "the new york times" story yesterday. if these sanctions had real bite, the stock market would be down 100, not up 100. >> he is going to put the sanctions on a few bank accounts. the money has been cleared out of the bank account months ago. a few visa denials. there might have to spend their time in sochi. stuart: the word surrender is a very strong word. >> he will keep going. that is the message to take away from this. there is no penalty for whatever he wants to do. in eastern ukraine with little green men. the russian troops taking off, still in russian uniform.

in eastern ukraine, other parts of the former soviet union space. the question is how far does putin go. i think he is going all the way to challenge nato. that is strong stuff. stuart: if he did that, this market would come down. >> there is article five, it is all for one, one for all. if there is an armed attack against any nato member, they run the that defense. it doesn't have to be an armed attack. do it with the troops on the border, do it with energy blackmail, and then willing to do anything they ask. nato doesn't want to do anything about it because of the energy blackmail. stuart: the president said no military action will be taken. i think he was as explicit as that. that may be the will of the country, but should he be saying it explicitly?

or behind the scenes saying it. come out explicitly and say it. >> it is a dumb bargaining position. the other thing is it makes it even worse, president obama keeps saying we don't want to have a war with russia, therefore we do nothing. a big space between boots on the ground and if you denials for russian officials. that is where we should be operating. stuart: the president is in a difficult position. he may have put himself in that position because the europeans will not go along with some kind of sanctions against industries like energy, for example. we are just not going to do it. >> that is not president obama's only option. he has other options.

the russian economy, photos below $100 per barrel, they will need a high oil because to pay for subsidies. the pay for the debt over the sochi olympics. stuart: he doesn't care so long as he is a guy restoring the soviet empire. >> you got it, but in time that will tell. how long is it going to take to get $100 oil? it can be 18 months, it could be two years. the council on foreign affairs magazine has said we're looking at $75 per barrel oil within a couple of years if the united states builds a keystone pipeline, helps other countries to phrack. stuart: the pressures on obama to build the pipestone and frack until the cows come home.

what is that sheer speculation? >> i did talk to the former president of georgia who says that would have been one of the single biggest things obama could have done to scare the russians. for all that represents. stuart: what is the timeframe of putin's push into other former soviet parties? >> i think he keeps going. it is very popular, what he is doing come he has gotten the people in tears, great russian nationalism. it is very difficult for him to stop, so i think he keeps going. the timeline, nine months, 12 months. stuart: investors watching now, that is not good news. another move to another country would signal a market selloff. >> armed attack triggers a lot. no arms across the border, everybody goes home. stuart: there you go.

you know what you are talking about. we appreciate it. time is money. we say it every day. first item, more action in the pharma industry. pfizer making a bid, all about drugs in the pipeline. my to snap up the cancer drugs it has in development. both stocks up. next one, the gaming company that makes angry birds made a whole lot less money, profit falling more than 50% in 2013. the last one, censorship in china banning popular tv shows like "the big bang theory" and "the good wife" from streaming websites. "the big bang theory" has 1.3 dillion views on one streaming website alone. what is the threat from "the big bang theory"? never seen it.

stuart: welcome it was a triple digit rally. today no more. up 92 points, but still we will call it a rally. where is the price of gold? back at 1294 is where we are now per ounce. an accounting error cost think the market is a spend the stock buyback and plan for dividend increase. the market doesn't like that, down 5%. and we have march pending home sales up from a rough patch in winter, still well below where

they need to be. housing we conclude is struggling. charles payne wants his $0.10 worth. why don't we just let everybody by the houses they can't afford? charlie: we will probably end up with something akin to that. i hear the open lobbying. we start to do 200,000 jobs, it has been tight. they have gotten tighter. little bit easier and also supply, lot of things against homes right now. the idea was saved the housing market is the fact more expensive to rent top 100 metropolitan areas in this country. this is a crisis of confidence more than anything else. people do not have any faith in the future. young people willing to pay more money to live paycheck to paycheck and rent as opposed to

making that "investment" because they are not sure it will pay off in the next 20 to 30 years. stuart: do you think the growth will turn around housing? charlie: people will feel better the economy is turning up. save money to buy a house, save money for retirement instead of spending it every other week. stuart: see if you can make sense of this one. a new study finds digital interaction using your computer or your mobile device to check prices and compare products. apparently that influences $0.36 of every dollar spent at rick and mortar stores. a trillion dollars worth of sales affected but taking your smart phone around. they say that number will keep going up. here is tony hale, he tracks this stuff. you check the influence of

mobile on retail sites. >> we check the influence of data in any kind of advertising across the web and mobile. we can measure whether they have looked at that or not, whether they looked away. we have second by second data on this. stuart: take me through this. here is my little smart phone. i am in my store, i am seeing something advertised, and i have this thing on my smart phone, how do you know what i am looking at? >> we have a javascript on the website and we can tell what you're looking at, what part of the page and for how long. stuart: you don't know which corner of the screen i am looking at. >> you want to bet? stuart: no. how do you know? >> we had his little pangs of data. these are the pixels in view right now, this is whether we

have heard from this person, if they are actively looking at it. you get this rich picture, it is all in the data. stuart: you have an algorithm essentially. new technology. >> it is a combination of both. pack all of this kind of stuff in incredible detail. stuart: they say about one-third of retail sales are affected by people like me going into the store with a smart phone. that is great news for you. >> great news for everyone. a key challenge has been the click is all that matters. we forgot like billboards anything else, he put a message in front of somebody's face, that will have an effect. you see the connection between solid advertising. the problem has been quantifying in the past. now we have seen research from google, microsoft, yahoo, the

big four. we may not be in the big four yet, but we have ambition. we have all done research, all roughly the same thing found. if you are looking for brand recognition, looking at every variable and we found two things. the other thing is he amount of time in front of somebody's face. people like facebook and such know this, they are optimizing for it. stuart: would you sell your stake for $100 million today? >> no. because i am very confident i will get much more money than that from it in the future. stuart: you think he will make more than $100 million? >> as i said before, i have no

lack of ambition. stuart: this is important? this is big for you. $100 million extra for you. forget the money? >> this is about changing the web. stuart: you are in america, you're going to forget the money? >> have to have a little bit of it. stuart: how dare you. ceo of chart beat. thank you very much. juan williams says democrats will win in november. what? i will read your reaction from facebook and twitter after the break. but first, this, highlights from the appearance. i bet you can expect more of this in the future to come. >> you just don't like the story? stuart: i don't think you are going far enough. >> how dare he do something like that. i will wait here.

i brought the paper. you seem disappointed. have you read your rundown? it says i am staying the whole time. who wants me out of the interview? for over 75 years, fannie mae and freddie mac

have been there for america. helping millions realize their dreams of homeownership. and when fannie mae and freddie mac needed help, america was there for them. today, fannie mae and freddie mac celebrate payment in full to taxpayers. together, we've created one of the greatest comebacks in our nation's history. so, let's preserve and strengthen fannie mae and freddie mac. because without them there really could be no place like home.

stuart: i think we can both afford $10. i say republicans will extend the majority in the house. >> i will say this to you. you still owe me money from obamacare 2012. stuart: he says there's still hope for democrats in november. unfortunately he is correct since republicans don't have any ability to debate or present clear statements, so why not choose them? that is a rather pessimistic statement. saying stuart, despite disagreeing about 99% of the time, there is no need to attack the man. come on, dominic, thought we had a friendly conversation. and dave chimes in, he goes to

the same psychiatrist they do. delusional. continue to comment on facebook and twitter pages. we have apple borrowing billions to find the stock buyback program. why doesn't it ring in the cash from overseas? if it did that, they would pay 35% cash. the stock is up, partly because of that, the earnings. we keep a close eye on amazon. it was a momentum stock on the upside, momentum stock on the downside down another 3%, it lost 10% on friday alone. we have to go supposedly developments from the car industry. nissan is developed a self-cleaning car. a special paint that is water and oil resistant. you can see the video painted half the car with a special paint, the dirt just rolls off. if it is as good as it looks,

maybe the carwash business will lose some customers. google says the self driving car can navigate freeways making big strides on driving the street as well. but will the lawyers let a driverless car hit the road? what about liability? they're already killing google glass. we asked the judge later this hour. legal pot has arrived in colorado and washington state. the theory is you make it legal, tax it, bring in revenue. next stop, legal pot at the federal, national level? we will discuss it in a moment.

my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure.

pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

stick with innovation. stick with power. stick with technology. get the flexcare platinum from philips sonicare and save now. philips sonicare stuart: checking the big board. it was up 100 and 30, now it's up 70. are you curious about it the tickler stock? we will tell you, tweeters using #ask paying today you came in with questions about an power. charles will deal with it because you asked about it. charlie: this is one i have mentioned twice, so i know a lot of people who watch the

show have it and we are not doing too bad during just reporting earnings of another great quarter for these guys and i have to tell you the traditional metrics are starting to come down as far as that's being an expensive stock and just where the world has gone with these solar panels everywhere in the world is expanding. every single place. ironically except japan over the next couple years the company has a paid under one, there's a giant position. stuart: would you buy it? charlie: we are still in it and i think people should continue to buy. when it closes about 35 that's a major breakout. so, ride the volatility. i think there is a huge amount of upside left. stuart: huge amount of up site? vast quantities of the money still to be made. are you sure about that? stuart: april 28, 11 toward-- charlie: put me down.

stuart: it's been about four months since the recreational use of marijuana was okayed in towel around a. more than half of colorado residents say they are happy with the decision. we have a new poll it says 52% of residents believe marijuana legalization has been good for the state of colorado. let's bring in republican congressman from colorado. look into the show. >> thank you for having me. stuart: what do you think? should we extend we legalize recreational marijuana? >> i think there are still a lot of questions that have to be answered. i think it was the governor who said it best, people need to see what is happening in colorado before they follow suit. let's get some questions answered first. stuart: what's the problem? >> i think there are a lot of things going to the state legislature this year. there's a bill talk about the content, marijuana oil per instance. we have had some issues with people cooking it at the house, volatile explosions.

there was one this week. stuart: i have to claim is when. you cook it up in your bathtub and somehow you cook out oil from these leafy plants and create this oil and you set the house on fire and it explodes. this is happening? >> it has happened a couple times. there have been people hurt and i think there's a number questions that have to be answered. our founders intended the states to be the laboratory democracy and colorado is in the heart of the laboratory. stuart: so if you get this settled and you contain the content in edibles, how much thc can have a cookie. are you in favor of nationally making it okay recreationally? >> at this point no. the founders intended for the states-- let's watch and see what happens at the state level. i think this is a good experiment in question in terms of federalism. but there are other questions that need to be answered, so i think if you would've it packs revenue and health consequences and studies let's figure out what is going on first

before we take it further. stuart: chicken? >> i'm concerned about the impact on society and communities. stuart: don't you think republicans could when a lot of votes if they said the time is your legalize the stuff? >> i thank you can't just go for boats. yet to do what is right for the public in the states must ensure colorado has it right before we continue. stuart: a responsible politician. >> be responsible. stuart: here he is. he's in new york. we hang on with us? >> absolutely. stuart: we have a new report from a left leaning organization , a national employment project. it says in the past four years under president obama 3.8 million low-wage jobs have been created. 1million middle wage jobs lost. looks like that they owe failure of president obama has criticism coming from the left. charlie: maybe that is why a huge push to increase

minimum wage by 100%. if you can't create great jobs how about overpaying for the jobs you do create. the numbers are staggering. here we got 2.69 jobs back. the lower paying jobs, 2 million loss 3.8 million back. it's not the kind of things-- we see it in all the number theory and we see where real wages have gone down across the board. it's heart breaking because if you call off the war on success and the wine business in college truce to the war you reverse all of this stuff instantaneously. if you say okay fracking in keystone and okay corporate america and it's not a bad thing i know you guys weren't born with a spoon in your mouth and i applaud you guys to read when you call that wore off you change this overnight. stuart: come on congressman, he run for senate? >> hydraulic roger income these are global opportunities we and these would create good paying job's. that report talks about the number of jobs lost and the

number of jobs backfilled by low-paying jobs and if you think about the keystone pipeline, those are things we have to get people into good paying jobs. stuart: can you make that that issue in november? can you say look the economy is just not performing the way it's supposed to? >> if you look at colorado loan obamacare will be an issue in energy is an issue. that's what people care about the economy in obamacare, healthcare. so, energy is a key part of that. stuart: will they not be sidestepped by class warfare? hey, i don't have it take up those guys. >> you answer class warfare by saying let's call great jobs and let's create the keystone pipeline. charlie: i really do think and i'm glad it up that at some point the idea that i have way you can earn more money rather than us taking it from this person i think people will choose a want to earn more. stuart: i think they would if it's presented in that fashion to read a national politician represent in that fashion where they?

>> in fact, the committee i'm on we will vote for a bill to export natural gas. we will create thousands of jobs in this country if we do that and we will have our allies overseas and do it while using a clean version of fuel. stuart: do you think the president and the united states senate will allow the export of natural gas? >> our allies are crying for a. they are saying we need you to approve this now. opposing exports of lng is like hanging up on a 911 phone call from our friends and allies. they are asking for our energy and we have a chance to create american jobs and development and i think the president and senate will be in a box to approve it. stuart: welcome to new york. it's good to have you with us from colorado. >> thank you have any. stuart: google, it says it's making big advances in self driving cars. hold on a second, are they figuring lawyers? what about liability? one little accident and those cards surely are off the road. that judge is next.

i have name everyone knows.

i know this has mono under everyone's radar in this stock-- everywhere you can measure us stock. is the goodness. guidance is up. it's up significantly in fact, well ahead of what wall street is looking for. i think they will have another surprise. we know about their management and their business is up 3%. margins are expanding, the supply chain is interesting. not only is it growing faster than its plea, it's carving out a nice niche. do you know how much it has returned a business retell every year? try $185 billion. a lot of the electronics of 801 they senate back. they have learned how to make money from it. all you have to do is jump on board.

stuart: did you hear that from the judge? i hope not. first, a quick check of a particular stock, best buy going up. >> judge, don't get us in trouble. i didn't hear think. 3.4% from best buy. best buy is down over 30% this year, but maybe everyone has been running in and getting the electronics. a stellar performer on a day where you have apple is a new high, linkedin and a new low in best buy getting a jump. stuart: yes, now let me

bring up today on exactly what the judge said. a bit of conversation there right before we went to nicole. it's a stupid subject. we didn't quite kill his mike. it got up there to read here's the stupid subject. google, saying they are driverless cars can now handle hazards such as by selected, railroad crossings, construction zone all good news. but could they be opening themselves up to liability? the judge is your. do you think this is a stupid subject? >> because we can't predict what liability is going to be. until after some legislature decides to authorize it. stuart: get out of here. you know i can correctly predict liability. i can correctly predict the lawsuit as soon as the first tire hits the road. >> in america there can't be a lawsuit until there are damages, so someone will have to be harmed by this thing to read have you seen the tape of this? it's very, very impressive

and analogize is trains that we now ride i know you have written that have no human being driving a. did you know that when you are on that train there is no human driving it? it's not a rail it really can't go anywhere it just goes back and forth. google has analogized this to a rail, their rail and i'm not defending the product i just am telling you what i saw the tape. some of it was stupid. they analogized it to a rail, controlled by a computer and on this tape all kinds of things happen, construction, a guy and a bike whose weaving in and out and he's getting crazy signals and the computer adapts to all the. look, this is technology. this is fantastic technology if this were to happen, but the legislatures would be concerned with human safety. right now it is against the law for a vehicle to be on the roadway without a human being driving it.

so they will have to persuade a legislature to allow some sort of experiment on a limited basis. stuart: the politicians is what saves from the lawyers and lawsuits? >> they will get some kind of benefit from the lobbyists that google will dispatch to get them to change their mind. stuart: and you still think it's a stupid subject that i brought up that lawyers always get in the way ofprogres? >> i didn't thank you would hear me saying that. stuart: but they did. they all heard you. >> i was wrong. it's a fascinating subject. stuart: i'm not asking for an apology of any sort. you contest. lawyers always get in the way. >> they do. but come i don't think they can get in the way until after this harms someone. i think most judges would say without harm there is no lawsuit, so if this thing operates smoothly--

charlie: personal lobbyist get approved and then the lawyers get it. >> a correct. on the other hand you want this to be sick, don't you? stuart: i want this to be safe going forward. >> but, you would want-- stuart: i am prepared to take a little risk for technological progress. >> but, you and i and charles are not the typical person sitting on a jury. the typical person will be persuaded that there should be no risk. stuart: i want america to be allowed to take some risk without risk of ruin by some lawyers and their 30 pieces of silver. >> you have a very progressive attitude towards this i don't know if the courts would agree. stuart: tomorrow right or wrong? >> i would agree with you. but come i don't know that most of my former colleagues would. they would be wedded to the tradition of if it causes harm and no one is driving it is not worth trying. stuart: is there no limit which an american will not give up for the cause of safety? >> that's a great question and there i am entirely with you even though the person

who said whoever would sacrifice essential liberty in order to obtain temporary safety was considered a traitor by george the third. [laughter] stuart: are you prepared to say i was right and that you were wrong that this is not a stupid subject? >> i am not only prepared to say it i say it. stewart was right and i was wrong this is a profound subject matter. stuart: i hope we got that. >> i know i will eat that for years to come. stuart: yes, you are. for the rest of your life, young man. that was a great stupid subject, but thank you for joining us. >> thank you are having me. stuart: will you be back tomorrow? >> yes no matter what the subject. stuart: actor, tim allen says california is a socialist state and that taxing the rich help the middle class. he plays santa claus come i think that he? well, we will discuss it after this. peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business.

stuart: i have my own question to ask charles about amazon and another 4% today, $290 a share. charles, is a cheap enough

to buy? charlie: i don't think so. first of all it's tough for me i have about five pipeline stocks down right now, so i wouldn't add to it with amazon. fiscal year and 15 earnings three years ago it was $5.36 now is it $3.52 and its freefalling. i sensed this a couple months ago. they are not bringing into the bottom line every other day that-- listen, it has worked in if you pull out the tenure chart you can't argue with the motive, but right now the company is a world of hurt. they have to sort of start to just focus maybe more on what's going to make a lot of money. ultimately this is about earnings. these guys have got a pass like really any other company in the history of the stock market. stuart: i don't want to push too hard, but i will point do you think it's cheap? charlie: i would end up chasing this one. i would wait for a turn maybe that broke 300 that's

my by and i get in there and look for 15% trade and then that's the way i would go about it. stuart: we will follow it. they we have actor tim allen, he has a question that has to do with your money. here's what he tweeted. how does taxing high-income people help the middle class succeed? there's the question. this comes a couple days after he declared a-- california social state. here's another actor who is a conservative. charlie: of the one later he try to backtrack a bit with respect to liberals and progressives he said an open question, but here's the answer these kind of high tax harsh rhetoric towards business states or cities are what you have the worst forms of income inequality and i keep saying this is the iron he everyone keeps let's ask the rich, let's packs assets every year

let's chip away at that intake by percent even though it's not throwing up cash eventually we will still that basin directly. if you take the top cities and states rather including washington dc worst income inequality gap dc, new york, connecticut, massachusetts, california you only had to southern states and their. these are big giant states we consider successful. stuart: they are the most unequal? charlie: the worst income inequality in this country. the best is utah, alaska, wyoming. let's drill down a bit more cities, bridgeport, connecticut. they had the highest tax of all cities and they have unemployment rate of 11.7%. number two, philadelphia, unemployment rate 10.6%. as you go these big giant cities with a lot of taxes and a lot of misery and a lot of unemployment. the only one in the top 10 that doesn't have a big unemployment rate, by the way, los angeles number

eight on the list as far as tax burden for its citizens and 11% unemployment. there's a reason for this. it doesn't work. stuart: more on that in our next hour. jerry brown, california loses another big business to rick perry, texas. new noon the tax climate . plus, donald sterling, nba owner caught in a controversy of a racist comment. should he be forced to give up his team? hour to start in two minutes.

stuart: it is monday and the news is breaking all over, and we've got it for you. toyota quit california. their home office goes to texas. score another for rick perry. james lacey is here. overstock.com is here. why are they going into insurance? stand aside the aflac duck.

and herman cain is here on the clippers scandal. and my take on the new darling on the left. take their wealth. some things never change. ♪ >> they didn't leave because it isn't beautiful in california and have wonderful weather, he left because they are overtaxed, over the gated and businesses can't find the skilled workforce they need. stuart: there you have it. toyota is moving the u.s. headquarters to texas from california. i call that a flat out black eye for california. a frequent guest on this program, a good guest. you apparently like this guy, which is pretty good. >> but i have to say governor rick perry is absolutely

correct. they are not moving because rick perry is just a good governor, which he is. he says the taxes are too high, the regulations are too big. i drive by the 405 freeway at the corner of the 110, you know that from your time in california. i have driven by at least 200, 300 times. that is where toyota has had its office. have had it over 50 years. but 5300 jobs will be lost to texas. the reason they are going is because of high taxes, high regulations and the lousy business we have. stuart: toyota has been there since 1957 and toyota really owned the california market. they have a huge market. >> it makes a lot of business sense for them to not put up with all of the malarkey, all

the litigation and all the regulations. the reason why they were in l.a. is because we have the wonderful support system. of course, four years the cars were being manufactured in japan brought to the united states, that was the portal. now the cars are being manufactured about 75% of toyota cars sold in the united states are not manufactured in california. manufacturing jobs have the lead because of this overly regulated high taxed government have imposed. moving to texas makes sense for them because they have manufacturing facilities in texas, but we will not get any new manufacturing factories. even apple, which made the announcement in 2012 for the first time they would start manufacturing in the united states. put in the manufacturing plant in texas.

campbell soup closed a soup plant down. did you like campbell's tomato soup? for the first time in 100 years they just auctioned off all the remaining equipment. stuart: i ask everyone, you have been on the show a half a dozen times and you know it. it never changes. california always vote for leftists who want to regulate and tax. it never changes. >> they have put down tax increases in cities like richmond and the city of los angeles when the voters are informed and understand what is at stake, the public employee unions have swamped the union with political spending.

it is absolutely ridiculous. they are swamping the political system. we need to get the word out. stuart: do you agree with me never in my lifetime will california vote vote for republn as president. >> i'm not prepared to give up on california yet. we have to get the information out. my prediction is there will be that's knitting events like 1978 with proposition 13 getting people's attention and change attitudes, but it will not be until then. stuart: you are good guest on this program. good stuff, thanks. check the big board, i asked the rhetorical question, what happened to the rally? i am not sure what the reason is but there must be some reason we lost 100 points.

we will find out for you. bank of america suspends the dividend increase because of an accounting error. the market doesn't like it, down 5%. watch out netflix, watch out amazon. it is planning original shows to stream through the xbox game console. i own microsoft and delighted to see it up 2% right now. check on yahoo. that stock down, virtually flat. getting a big which yahoo owns a quarter of amazon however new charges today they have been selling a lot of counterfeit products. lauren has more on that one. lauren: the estimates from 20% to 80% of the goods on one of the sites are counterfeit. stuart: one of alibaba sites, 20

to 80%. that is a wide range. lauren: 800 million idol. that is a huge number that could be counterfeit. alibaba is about to ipo here in the u.s. a lot of shareholders want to get in on an ipo like this, and you have these concerns. pouring money into making sure they don't have counterfeit goods on their site. we want to be sure about this too be at this is a concern for a lot of different companies and a lot of different people. stuart: if you go to hong kong and cross the border into mainland china, you can buy a gucci bag that looks like a real gucci bag. is that the kind of counterfeit product we talk about appearing? >> the bikes, the ones that fold

up, lots of issues with those. some disney products the disney logo is spelled incorrectly. all sorts of concerns. stuart: they better cleared up before the ipo. stuart: from one web giants to another. what is the story there? nicole: the stock for netflix down nearly 6%. going into the momentum stocks we have seen running up. not likely to recover with the market, they usually lag in their recovery. have the analysts with a hold rating. they are trying to continue to spend in that realm. trying to woo chelsea handler. whether or not that happens. that stock getting hit hard.

the news today, they're getting the insurance business good is a place to buy physical, tangible goods. now you are in insurance? what is going on? >> we think it fits our business model that we. a lot of people think like you do, people buying new homes, a big percentage of the customer base our home buyers and people redoing their homes. people who do that are often interested in insurance. it often makes you own insurance. we have taken the same model and expanded it to a bunch of insurance carriers and now we bring insurance directly. on average we will be offering

about $523 per year in savings for the average home insurance purchaser. stuart: i guess the point, i get the business model, but how do you discount insurance, which is kind of a financial product, i can see how you discount the coffee maker, i can see how you can discount the dress or something, insurance i am not sure i get that, tell me how you do it. >> we have created an insurance exchange that works. thinsurers themselves are discounting. by doing with customers who, online are better risk than others, they are offering better rates. we create an insurance exchange to put in the house, the car information and you will get a number of competing bids forcing

healthy competition. stuart: you made the point if you buy insurance online, you are better risk. you have a higher class of clientele. could you offer your services to obamacare? >> so far we have started with business at home and car vehicle insurance. you might see as common with life insurance and health insurance fairly soon. stuart: you have made it easy for me. people of my age, we have a hard time getting used to buying insurance products with a click of a computer. i am used to sitting down face-to-face with an agent. i don't like doing that, but that is what i am used to. so you have to convert people like me. >> my whole family, code of the

insurance industry, at the end of the day the local agency business isn't really delivering much value anymore. they tell you they are shopping, we are shopping with 20 different carriers, that is nonsense. most agents represent one or two really. there is no competition by making everything transparent on an exchange of forces the insurers enter competition. stuart: will you come and see us again, please? >> i would love to. i would love to make it on your show. stuart: thank you, patrick. good stuff. the nike fuel band, wearable tech to track your fitness. after the break we cut through all the hype and bring you one report on why those wristbands

that really old operating system, windows xp. a couple weeks ago we said to update it. they are ending support for windows xp. so all users are in trouble today. stuart: i would have thought that was a big negative for the stock but evidently it is not because mike stock is firmly above $40 per share. that is original content. lauren: there's a lot of news on microsoft's today despite this issue which we have known about since saturday. stuart: as we always like to say, i do own a little microsoft myself. new signs wearable technology may not be living up to the hype. nike announced they're going to shut down their fuel band fitness tracker hardware. some tech watchers are raising questions over whether or not fitness tracking bracelets like the fuel band from nike even

work at all. joining us now from social radar. shayna, i am looking at an article in "the new york times" today, the headline is the hype of the fitness bands may not match the results. what have you got on this? >> the article in "the new york times" talks about how these fitness bands, which i am wearing one. i have a fitbit disclosure to give to you. these bands are not quite capturing all of the steps and meeting the hype of tracking your activity and tracking your sleep like they may promise. stuart: they promised to tell you when you're in a deep sleep and not when you are in a deep sleep. this is a question of whether or not they actually work as advertised, that is the question, isn't it? >> that is the question. that might not matter. as a user of this and somebody who has seen the trend from just

exercise enthusiasts wearing this technology to someone like me who is not an exercise enthusiasts but cares about my health, i like hearing the buzz i hit my 10,000 steps and i'm not sure that it matters to me that i am may be missing 1000 here or there. some people will care about that, but the trend has more casual users of the technology will continue to increase. stuart: i disagree with you. i'm very sorry. >> you can disagree. stuart: a lot of people lose these wristbands or they lose interest in them and they end up like the exercise machines which you see at garage sales up and down new jersey. maybe this is an extreme opinion, but i think the age of the wrist monitor is not exactly coming to an end, but the fad, the explosion and usage i think is over. clearly you disagree. >> we can agree to disagree. i just got my fitbit for

christmas, my husband got his a month ago. either we are really out of the loop here or there might be a trend to having a bigger population, broader population using this technology. stuart: i have google, it says they are autonomous, driverless cars are getting better at driving in urban environments. there is something we can see being very useful. i can see expanding in the future. what is your opinion of driverless cars and if they will make an impact. >> i heard the judge earlier talking about the legislative and legal issues that might face. i think this is clearly the future, and the tackling street driving and cities which is what this blog was about this morning the director of google driverless cars posted is the next step for them to prove this technology will not lead to accidents and is the way of the future. stuart: you think it will take

off, you would have a driverless car, you would do it. >> i think it is a long ways. but when this comes to the public, i think google promised them in 2017, that is a long runway, but a future many people will embrace. i drive in d.c., it is like a videogame to drive safely to work and i think the self driving car has a long way to go to make sure it can tackle all those issues of reckless drivers or bikers. minority report may be in a couple of years, but maybe not that. google self driving car is the way of the future be at stuart: they give for joining us, always a pleasure. french socialist and huber left economist, the new darling of the left. my take on him is next. peace of mind is important when you're running a business.

of inequality. he thinks the solution is a 60% tax on income of $200,000, and 80% on $500,000, and a tax on top of that. just as the left flounders in the wake of obamacare and a shrinking middle class, along comes this debut with class warfare policy. so take it. the left has embraced this nonsense. they say it will win votes in november. item to go. a left his organization is reporting on the failure of obama's policies. in four years we have treated 3.80 yen low-wage jobs and lost middle wage jobs. there is a link between these two items. it is politics, not economics. just as it becomes clear taxing and regulating and borrowing and spending has not worked, along

comes a frenchman to suggest we double down and tax the rich some more. that is why the left has come to worship thomas. it is a roll of the dice. when policy fails, play the card they hope will win votes. that is why he is all over "the new york times," that is why the left is all over low-wage jobs. who cares if you hold onto political power. some advice, if i may. by a first-class ticket on the next flight to paris. you'll find france socialist president reversed himself. he now wants tax cuts. socialist does not work.

stuart: a policy change by the department of defense could mean some really big money by american sneaker manufacturers. lauren has details on that one. lauren: the pentagon is bring the good foot forward right now. $180 million contract to put us-made shoes on military recruits is happening. we will start to see new balance one of these bidding for the contracts. the massachusetts-based company employing factory workers if they get the contract they will

hire more workers to make all of these shoes. this is positive news keeping u.s. jobs in the u.s. stuart: 180 million? >> we think 180 million the coast military stipend by whatever they want as long as they are government approved shoes. we are thinking it would be about the same. another company might be bidding on this as well. stuart: let's go to that controversy over racist comments attributed to donald sterling. state farm has polled the sponsorship because of those comments. let's bring in herman cain. i want your take on this, excuse me if i book my two cents first. i think that man should not be owning a basketball team. he should not make that kind of condescending racist comments for those who work for you and

get away with it. i think he should be out. and you say? >> i say exactly what you say, stuart. i see you are sitting down. this may be only the second time i will agree with president obama. when someone is capable of that ignorance, let them keep talking. as they voted to allow him in, they can also allowed to vote him out. i don't believe he has any right to own a team that is made up of 70% black americans and he is making those kind of racist, ignorant remarks. stuart: thank you, tony. let me move onto some more more financial subject if we may be at president obama is pushing a new rule for the anti-lobby national relations board. i think you know more about this than i do. it will force employees to hand

over personal information like addresses and phone numbers to unions where the union is trying to organize in that office or in that factory. what do you have to say about this? >> this is big brother on steroids, and this is where i absolutely disagree with president obama and his administration. and the other aspect of this, this is an invasion of privacy. they have no right to get people's names, addresses and telephone numbers under the disguise of saying they want to try and unionized. bring it on the first term, they tried to pass check and it didn't make it. enough people woke up to these antics, enough business people woke up to these antics but more importantly employees woke up to it and it didn't go anywhere. this is a backdoor way to try to get them to allow union

organizers to use intimidation. stuart: i don't think they got value for their money. they pumped i'm not sure the exact number, but it has to be hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns for democrats and campaigns for president obama. they don't have card check, they will not get the pipeline built, they lost the vote in tennessee with the vw plant. i can't think of a serious union victory they can claim to get good value for their money. >> and they cannot keep boeing in washington state. you are absolutely right. they are making a lot of noise, but they are not getting a lot of goods across the finish line in terms of this administration. this administration and the democrats and the unions are not going to stop trying to force what i consider to be socialist policies like you were referring

to earlier on the american people. they simply are not going to do it. stuart: you were listening to my take as i was going on. i hope you like it. do you have anything to add? >> stuart, i believe you have become an impassioned free-market businessman. you are not bad, you're just passionate. and i love it because my messa message, you've screwed up france, now leave us alone. stuart: the truth is he's wildly popular in the beltway and in new york city, and a little academia in boston. the rest of the country could care less about this nonsense. i don't think america is basically a class conscious jealous society. that's not my reading of america. >> i think you're absolutely right. what i'm finding everyday on my radio show is more and more people are waking up to these liberal tendencies to want to

tax the rich. that's not a solution. to impose more regulations, not the solution. your numbers related to jobs is one indicator along with the fact you look at 2007 versus 2014, there are a million people less working. so we are not in a recovery. i don't think people are buying the socialist rhetoric even from a frenchman. stuart: especially from a frenchman. >> even a frenchman. especially from a frenchman. i love your passion, stuart. stuart: come and see us again soon. herman cain, everyone. apple has a vast amount of cash on hand. i believe it is 150 billion. so why is the company borrowing 17 billion? one word for that, taxes. the real halftime report is next.

favor. some of them have run up 100% in the last 52 weeks saying when you see a recovery in the market, the high moment, flyers don't necessarily participate in that recovery and they are not the only ones to say this. linkedin new 52 week low down 7%. down, down, down, down. yelp is down 6.5%. for the month to date, some of these stocks have been hit hard. linkedin down 20% this month. if you are hot on it, do you buy it here? i don't know. probably a good start if you like that. stuart: you are a social media kind of guy i am told. any of these things cheap enough for you to buy now? >> i like the 20% down. that is a nice discount. groupon above $6. down from $12. that is probably out of the social media the best shot of a

takeover target, so i like those two. stuart: moving on to streaming. netflix considering a show with chelsea handler. microsoft getting u the original programming business too. what do you make of this? lauren: somebody told me we are in the best time for content. microsoft, a new player to the original content through the xbox. teaming up with some soccer stars, teaming up with steven spielberg for a certain show about halo. some great stuff coming. that stock rocketing today. stuart: back to you, larry. now we are up about 50. what happened? larry: the market has a tendency to sell off when there is profit taking. a lot of people worried about friday, what would happen with the ukraine situation, but got most of that back today.

still very nearly highs. stuart: what do you have to say? >> every step up has country music song with two steps back. money on the book. stuart: the ipo expected to price this week, is it still a big deal to you? >> this is a huge deal. we forget how big china's internet market really is. let me give you an idea of how this is. 20% of all the traffic in the million stores, it has the largest middle class, 600 million people in the end not only 11% of which meet the standards of $100 per day. a long ways behind brazil, south korea in similar stages. it goes through the marketplace.

stuart: medicare dollars are your money. one physical therapy to build $4 million from medicare 2121 year. dr. mani is here. doctor, this is a headline in "the new york times." one therapist, $4 million in medicare billing. you know the details. it is simply outrageous. what is going on? >> something funny is going on. that is a lot of massagers for one office. between 1900 patients, 94 procedures per patient, 500 procedures per day, 21 hour day.

a therapist says this really happened in multiple offices, all happening in new york, there were a lot of people involved, i just happened to bill under one tax id number. you still made $4.5 million because the checks went to him in the first place. but it tells you there is no accountability for a lot of these things. we see medicare and medicaid, fraud happening quite often nowadays. the checks and balances are not there. we only hear about the extreme cases of the four, five, $6 million games, but there are other things going on the federal government is not hitting anything about it. stuart: we are constantly told fraud is rampant in a very large government programs but the cases of fraud keep popping up.

isn't it easy to discover them given computers, billing records? if the times can do it, why is in the government doing it? >> because there is a lot of bureaucracy in the government. only when it is overwhelmed is when they pay attention to it. the government cares more about the paperwork being correct than the actions of what is it you are doing clinically. that is where it all falls apart. if you have checked and you submitted electronically, you will get a paycheck. at the end of the day nobody is looking at why were those checks put in place. the average amount of physical therapy per patient around the country, you look at minnesota for instance. a patient get hurt, they get about three treatments. why should a patient in brooklyn get 94 treatments for his physical disability if he has a pinched nerve?

those kind of things tell you there is abuse in the system and government has to get a handle on it. stuart: how does it work? i say i am in a car crash, i cannot work. i go to a doctor. >> sometimes you go to a lawyer first. if you are involved in an accident you go to the lawyer. anyway, you go to the doctor and he says? you have a pinched nerve, i'm going to send you for physical therapy. that relationship now becomes a little bit unique because the physical therapist properly trained, i'm sure, says to you you will need for five or six or seven treatments and see how you feel and you go there every week and the feedback back to the physical therapist. it still hurts a little bit. more treatment. it still hurts, more treatments. in the meantime, who is paying for that? you. you are not getting any massages for free.

charlie: no, i'm not. you can't fix this because it is a vast government or accuracy. the first release of real numbers in many, many years. >> listen, if there's going to be any handle a medical cost, the federal government, american medical association was against releasing data. i think transparency is good for doctors and hospitals. they say raw data is to be given out by patients like that. when you see cases like this it is important to point them out. i congratulate "the new york times," they sell them do it right. stuart: i think we may have done it twice on today's program. dr. manny, thank you for setting it straight. your take is next.
